Israeli arms settlers, they are militia by another name and not civilians imo.

They are the same sort of state-supported genocide-farmers that Hitler had planned to colonize Eastern Europe with after WW2.

i'm going to guess that blinken's emergency trip across the middle east is a pretty good sign that another yom kippur war was going to erupt if israel entered gaza and now the ghouls are trying to figure out how to genocide gaza without kick starting ww3

There are also 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank, who the IDF would probably prefer not to join in on the chaos.

Note on the last tweet. Police did close in on protests in Lafayette Park in 2020. That was when they deployed tear gas to clear space for Trump to take his perfect photo holding a bible in front of a church.

Notice how none of the tough guy cucks who wanted to "counter protest" showed up.

So it seems that Israel really, really wants to raze everything in Gaza to the ground but is terrified to actually do it because they know they're not ready for ground combat.

I was thinking they would use the moab using the excuse of getting into the hamas underground networks.

D&D has had various modding regimes and the current one is essentially koos giving D&D regulars what they have clamored for for years. a horrible mess of rules strictly encforced. at times its been funny watching them hoisted by their own petard but now he can go gently caress himself after this poo poo

There are probably some threads in D&D that aren't lusting for genocide but I'm not going to go look and find out.

We know they have been using a bunch of 2,000 pound bombs, and at least JDAMS, but a MOAB seems impractical. You need to literally send a transport land in to use it since it is so heavy, and HAMAS does seem to have at least some AD.

I think the Israelis would love to totally flatten Gaza but it is just easier said than done, but I do think Hersh is right about them being scared to send a ground force in.

I do think part of the plan is to "rack up" Palestinian causalities in order to make sure they will always be on the "winning side" of any trade and they would love the opportunity to finish off Gaza. It is a point of pride for them not shame.

It sounds insane, and it is, but it is clearly part of the logic here. They seem to be really dragging their foot on a ground invasion, they may eventually do it but I don't think there is a lot of trust in their ground force. It very well may be they will wait until the Eisenhower gets there, but it is going to be a while. It has to across the whole of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

The MOAB itself is extremely impractical in a real combat situation, and more than missing and hitting civilians, it may just hit some random rubble or a field because it has no real guidance.

Oof

On resetera I used to post on the socialism thread but it was pretty much impossible to have any kind of conversation without getting banned. If you went against the consensus of the moderators click you weren't going to last very long. Which is why I just hang out on related discords.

The mods there are truly think they are paragons and that the only people they ban are chuds and racists but they're feckless liberals who are hacks loyal to the Democratic party and consider any deviance from that to be Russian trolls or whatever. I used the term low information voter in passing and they regarded that as a "racial slur." I prefer a left-wing forum and I don't want any chuds welcome around but there's got to be some kind of balance.
